God’s Sovereignty and Man’s Free Will

  The Biblical evidence of God’s sovereignty is convincing.  The verses presented this week are a small representation of many found in Scripture that prove God is most definitely on His throne. With this truth established, we need to ask ourselves some practical questions. Since God is sovereign over everything; does this mean we have […]

God Rules His Heavenly Home

  This week we are learning about the Sovereignty of God and for the last 2 days we have discovered how God is in control over the affairs of men.  We saw how he is intimately involved in both the political and personal side of our lives.  However; God is not only in control over […]

God Rules the Details

  Scripture is undeniably clear when it speaks of God’s ownership and his right to rule the entire created universe. (NIV) Deuteronomy 10:14 states” To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.”  God alone reigns on heaven and earth. Yesterday, we studied Biblical evidence that […]

God Rules the Rulers

  One of the attributes or characteristics of God is His sovereignty.  He is sovereign because He is God.  He is God; therefore, He is sovereign.   It is who He is; He cannot help but be sovereign over His creation.  He is the ruler, the king over all He has made.   He is absolutely, unequivocally […]

Freedom ~ Liberty in Christ

Liberty ~ true freedom! (NASB) John 8:31-32 “So Jesus was saying to those Jews who had believed Him, ‘If you continue in My word, then you are truly disciples of Mine; 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.’” We continue to obey what Jesus says… as we listen […]

Veil of Unbelief

  The Old Testament is important.  God’s words are always important… all of them. The Old Testament or Old Covenant has to do with God’s Laws which no one can keep perfectly.  It is impossible. God proves through His Law that we need His mercy and compassion.  His mercy and compassion are given to us […]

Reflected Glory Compared with the Revealed Glory of God

  As the sun itself is light – so God’s glory comes from Him alone. As the moon reflects the light of the sun – so the Law and its ministry of death and condemnation is the reflected glory of God. God’s glory far surpasses His reflected glory of the Law. (NASB) 2 Corinthians 3:7-11 […]

Confident in the Competence & Sufficiency of God

  Whenever we think and/or believe we are able to do anything with excellence – be aware, watch out – a fall is coming.  Many times we are tripped up by our own arrogance. As followers of Christ we are to be dependent on the living God – He alone is competent and He is […]
